To be fair it ain't hard when he isnt closed down, the time they gave him in both games is ridiculous, zero pressure when he is on the ball.He absolutely ran the game against them in the Euros and everything went through him.
I personally think he should be playing central midfield on his own for England with Alli just ahead of him.
I think it'd be worth giving this a go with Spurs against teams who are going to park the bus.To be fair it ain't hard when he isnt closed down, the time they gave him in both games is ridiculous, zero pressure when he is on the ball.
Even more annoying having Rooney drop so fucking deep when both Stones & Dier are ball players. Bet Dier played more forward passes than Rooney.
IMO we are far braver, we rarely suffer the semi-circle of doom arround the oppo penalty box, because we draw teams onto us, we trust in our players to one/two touch our way out of a press. We are also happy for other teams to have the ball arround the halfway line, whilst we wait for the right moment to win the ball back.I think it'd be worth giving this a go with Spurs against teams who are going to park the bus.
Allerdyce is missing a trick if he doesn't retain the Dier-Alli-Kane spine (at CDM, CAM, and striker respectively) from Spurs' lineup. It'd allow them to gain chemistry both internationally and at club level, taking the form with them.He absolutely ran the game against them in the Euros and everything went through him.

I want him to go back to a short haircut, as he doesn't look as 'ard with floppy locks
The 'lallana' look is to lull them into a false sense of security, then......bang.....you've been Dier-ed.I want him to go back to a short haircut, as he doesn't look as 'ard with floppy locks

The 22-year-old joined the Club from Sporting Lisbon in time for the start of the 2014-15 season and made an instant impact, scoring the winning goal on his debut in a 1-0 victory against West Ham on the opening day.
Having played in defence during his first year at the Club, he switched to a holding midfield role for the 2015-16 campaign and became an integral member of the team. To date, he has made 87 appearances in a Spurs shirt and scored six goals.
He also received international recognition for his performances last season and, since making his full England debut in November, 2015, he has won 11 caps for his country and scored two goals.
Is it me or do Poch and Dier look really alike, at least in that video?
